With four spots in each event taken for the Semifinal so far, we head into Bracket 3 of the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo to fill two more.
BAREBACK RIDING
Taylor Broussard is currently your No. 5 bareback rider in the World. He has matched up with War Rock of Dakota Rodeo in Round Two, this horse came out on top in the one out he has had in 2023. Garrett Shadbolt is your No. 1 cowboy in the World coming in hot after a win at the National Western. His matchups include Andrews Rodeo’s Trophy Wife and Top Dollar.

Bracket 3’s barrel racing is full of ladies that are used to success. Brittney Sporer, formally Brittney Barnett, is on her horse, Paint, is a fan favorite, dynamite little horse that clocks anywhere she goes. While Katie Pascoe’s big sorrel, Naughty, can never be underestimated.

BULL RIDING
One bull rider who has had all eyes on him since his NFR debut is Tristen Hutchings. The Idaho cowboy has been undeniable, already making his presence known this 2023 season. Another cowboy that is climbing the standings is Texas’ Tyler Taylor. With success coming his way in both Denver and at the Fort Worth Bulls’ Night Out, he is one to watch.
